Add a level-hinted TLB invalidation helper that only gets used if
ARMv8.4-TTL gets detected.

Can we define a macro here to replace the switch? It will be more
clearly and efficient. Such as:

#define __TG ((PAGE_SHIFT - 12) / 2 + 1)
ttl |= __TG << 2;

Let me rephrase this: a convoluted formula with magic numbers in it
is clearer than the values documented in the specification (Table D5-53)?
I have the exact opposite view.

As for efficency, you do realize that the compiler always discards two third
of this code on any possible configuration, right?

I think the code above is the clearest way to express table D5-53, and
the only missing bit is a reference to that table.

Thanks,
